Nice work MCing that debate last night Russell. Even if using kittens is like, totally cheating.

When I saw those photos of books in Christchurch, my first response was "I must go down there and sort them out!". Note: I didn't want to rebuild houses or donate blood or take in refugees or anything, oh no. Then, my more subversive side came in and I was like "I must go down there and arrange them by colour while everyone else is busy".
My grandparents had another Lockwood house put next to theirs without any internal walls to hold all of my Opa's books. Those bits of cardboard and paper and words are sacred in my family.

Oh sure, now that I actually have work to do and can't keep up with PA System, now you break out the dirty posts...

Well, it's not so much a matter of 'allowed'; you sign a declaration that you meet all the standards and you're sure your blood's OK
Admittedly it was a good nine years ago or so, but I'm pretty certain that I definitely wasn't allowed. Of course, once I was finally 'clean' and not actually sick the day a blood collection unit was nearby, I ended up being as weak as a kitten for three days after donating and I can't spare that much sick leave again so I'm unsure if I can donate in the future.

Some things in don't make sense to me at a glance - different standards for males and females having anal sex for example - but maybe that's backed up by risk percentages.
I remember how furious I was that I couldn't give blood for a year because I'd slept with a boy who'd slept with a boy. Even though we always used condoms. I wonder how many people who don't know the sexual histories of their partners and who haven't always been careful are allowed to donate blood.

Or maybe we could thank Shihad for the most useful lyric ever, with a great big graffiti-like clock by Otis Frizell or the like.
Put your clock back for the winter

I stayed at this masquerade
And had another drink
I was hoping to bring sin to my sheets'The Drinker' - Phoenix Foundation
And maybe said sheets could be colour fieldy bits by Gretchen Albrecht.

"Contains strong horror violence" -- as opposed to the romantic type that makes you want to run out and French kiss kittens?
As opposed to realistic violence, which some films carry a warning about - I suspect you're much more likely to be bashed by your partner than fall into a room full of needles.

I watched the DVDs of This Life the other year, and I couldn't believe how much they were smoking! Inside! At work! Holy crap! It was unreal. And that's only 15 years old or so...

I agree. A lot of the time, you can't even give it away
You're like baked beans on toast. When a woman is hungry, it's easy enough to reach into the cupboard to pull it out, but it's not necessarily very tasty, and when you're done you have to do the dishes, and deal with the stench of burnt toast, and maybe your flatmate had her eye on that can of beans that you ate, so you're in trouble now.
But sometimes you want a really really good spectacular tasty meal served up for you, and you don't mind paying to get the very best.
